Party must recognise "the problem is not the public, but us" says Harriet Harman MP. Speaking in the wake of Labour's defeat in the Copeland by-election, the party's former deputy leader said: “It’s not the public that’s got to change, but we’ve got to change, then I think that we can start rebuilding again.” Speaking to the Westminster Hour's Carolyn Quinn, Ms Harman added: "The thing about being leader is, the buck stops with you. You can’t be blaming anybody. You can’t be saying the members have got it wrong, you can’t be saying the public have got it wrong, you can’t be saying MPs have got it wrong – the buck stops with you." "And you have to take responsibility for making it right, not getting it wrong and then blaming other people – whether it’s the media or anybody else.”
